BEADING lVIAQHINE FOR SHOES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,540, dated July 29,1884.

\ Applicationfiled March 25, 1884. (No model.)

T0 all whom ifmay concern:

'Be it known that I, JOSEPH BRESLIN, of Cincinnati, in the county ofHamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Beading Machines for Shoes, which improvement is fully set forth inthe following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figurel is a side view of my improved machine for beading shoes. Fig. 2 is afront view, and Fig. 3 a plan view, of the same.

In manufacturing ladies, misses, and chil drens shoes having beadsformed by the seams the customary manner of pressing or beating downthese seams is by means of the hand with a hammer. I design to remedythis defeet and increase the facility and rapidity of manufacture byproviding a device having a pair of stands, to which is journaled ahorizontal shaft provided at one end with a crank se cured to a piecemoving vertically in ways. The outer face of this sliding piece isprovided with a hammer which works over ablock,

upon which the material to be beaded is placed.

Motion is communicated to the device by means of a pulley upon theshaft, all of which will now be fully set forth in detail. i

In the drawings, A is a substantial metallic base, rectangular in form,and having upon the upper face a pair of stands, to the upper end ofwhich a horizontal shaft, B, is journaled. Midway between these standsare placed a loose and a fast pulley, C and D, by means of which poweris communicated to the device. A crank, E, is placed on one end of theshaft, and outwardly from the crank over the end of the base asubstantial upright frame, F, is placed, formed preferably of metal. Avertical groove, G, in the center of this frame has ways H cut therein,within which is placed a sliding piece, I. A connecting-rod, J,journaled at one end to the'crank of the shaft, ex-

a lateral projecting. wing, M, upon which is placed a metallic block, N.A hammer, O, the vertical part P of which is secured to the slidingpiece I by means of bolts Q, enlarges laterally downward from 'the top,and has the partRformed atrightanglestherewith. Within the angle thusformed a pair of braces is.

formed integral therewith, and all the parts are formed in asubstantialmanner. Itis designed that this hammer be placed in such a position uponthe slidingpiecc as to nearly strike the upper face of the block. Thevertical part of the hammeris provided with slots S, through which thebolts Q pass. These permit of the hammer being adjusted vertically, soas to obtain a sufficient stroke, and also to graduate it for thedifference in the thickness of the material. The face of the ,block andthe hammer in either of them may be faced with leather or vulcanizedrubber or other suitable material where it is found desirable.

What I claim is- The adjustable hammer having the lower part extendingout at right angles, the vertical part having slots and made adjustableby being secured to an upright piece sliding in ways, in combinationwith the yielding base, the whole arranged substantially as Herein setforth.

In testimony thatI claim the foregoing Ihave hereunto set my hand in thepresence of witnesses.

JOSEPH BRESLIN.
